It has two fantastically funny characters however the rest of the characters are rather annoying. The plot is okay but it’s not delivered all that well.

A tear welling but dramatic love story/adventure book. The darkling dies even though he was just a man with too much power who loved his country. Mal dies for Alina as the third amplifier. Before Alina loses all her power to none grisha Make sure tissues are near by
